Importance of engine diagnostics and performance

Every vehicle has an in-build system that detects any irregularities in your vehicle’s engine performance. Your engine is connected to the On-Board Diagnostics System that relays information about the state of your engine through the lights displayed on your dashboard. Usually when the “service engine” or “check engine” lights go on, you have to take your car to a qualified personnel for diagnosis or a tune-up and this is where we come in. Our staff is trained to decode the information gathered by your vehicle’s diagnostics system and they will use this information to identify the issues your engine may be having. In most cases, you might just need an engine tune-up while in other cases, you will need to have your engine repaired. The information gathered will determine the nature of the problem and what needs to be done to address it. They will then proceed to fix them and make recommendations on how to prevent a reoccurrence.

Advantages of engine diagnostics and performance

It is important to note that you should have regular engine tune-ups in order to maintain the efficiency of your vehicle and also ensure that you do not have a lot of car troubles. Some of the parts usually inspected during an engine tune-up include the spark plugs and wires, filters, rotor and distributor caps, belts and hoses, all of which may need to be replaced. The function of different parts will also be checked to ensure they are functioning at the optimal level.

In addition to the scheduled maintenance, there will be times when your engine will require a tune-up or an outright repair. The On-Board Diagnostics System ensures that you detect this promptly and you take the necessary steps to forestall any major damage. This ensures that you can identify and fix minor issues before they result in major damages that might necessitate engine replacement.

In addition to this, there are some signs of engine problems that you can look out for and they include a reduction in gas mileage, stalling, rough idling, knocking or slow-cranking when accelerating.
